Doesn’t it seem like happiness is always fleeting? No matter how hard you work for the promise of happiness, there seems to be this short-term quality to the happiness that follows. You are not alone! There are several reasons why happiness does not last, the most important being that the default structure of the brain does not allow for it.
Happiness, as we perceive this transitory feeling, is nothing more than the release of happy hormones. However, there is a built-in switch that gets triggered soon after the detection of these chemicals causing neurons to “inhibit” them. This immediately puts an expiration on the happy feeling. Learn how to use the same mechanism to stop this inhibitory action of the brain and hack happiness hormones.
